  1. It's the way it's rounding it off usually I'll just redraw all the holes with a nice even number
  2. When we have them go down the guys brings a cpu, MCI board and a few others. The throws them in and sends the cores back. Luckily you can backup the control and restore it relatively easy so you will have your zeros and tools back where they were backed up.
  3. It could be leading off with the arc. If your ramp depth isn't divisible by your depth evenly it will exit in a different spot than it starts. Sometimes gouge check will alter the lead in on you also
  4. You can set a perpendicular lead in with no arc. You can use .0005 as long as you're not planning on using any positive cutter comp
  5. When my coworker does it on 20/20 even if you name it offset zero it seems to renumber it all to offset one. Then you have to go and each operation and manually change it. Changing it in the planes manager does nothing
  6. It takes me 3 hours in fusion what it takes me 3 minutes in mastercam. But but you just need a practice once you get some memory down you'll be all right
  7. Profile entry is all I use if I can. I is easier on the tool I feel.
  8. Stock to leave will change all those numbers too. What's your geometry off a model or did you draw a circle?
  9. At least it told you what the exception was
  10. Brake the arc at a quadrant point or redraw it. And use an depth cut that is divisible by your total depth with a hole number
  11. From cinco dnc max on our fanuc machines we can send advanced and loop as many as we want. On the yasnac it gives an error saying no m2 or m30 after the first loop is run. Has anyone ever done it? Is there a setting I can look at?
  12. I agree The best is when you have to adjust a bunch of features and tangent points because of it.
  13. Machine control look ahead parameters can be used to smooth them out. Some people say the radius should be double the step over. It should probably find out which works best for your machine.
  14. Renishaw calls that stock allowance. It's a 3 point probe cycle to set z. You would need to use the rotary probe cycles to zero an axis. We use the drill cycles for ours and it has made life so much easier. They don't buy another machine without the probes now. Even the wire EDM has a probe
  15. It has a couple metric examples. I need to spend some time with it I guess
  16. We appear to have hit the parameter wheel lottery one of our new machines has this function. Has anyone done anything with it? In orbit mode the spindle becomes a w-axis and you put a lathe tool in it and it will synchronize spiral around apart to bore a hole or shaft. In synchro chip the C axis becomes spindle 2 with what appears to be a 33 RPM max rotation speed. So you can use it as a VTL or do the synchro chip with it
  17. I believe You can use *pwcs or to force it out If you analyze the statement there it's saying if The cut position is not equal to the last position Do something. So you probably need it after that line
  18. It probably doesn't like the program O number and the % sign
  19. You can also project the toolpath. With surface finish project
  20. I would look in the null tool change block. You may just have to swap the string order.
  21. Hit no otherwise it will mess up your tool paths. It happened on one file ever to us. It eventually stopped doing it.
